Breathe Deep
Here you collapse, crying alone
Does the ocean make you feel
Like all your desperate appeals
Break futilely as waves
On impassive stone?
Let me shake this icy rain off you
Let me drape this purple cape I made you
On your sorrow
Your blue eyes shouldn't be so overcast
So breathe deep
Inhale the sea breeze
Recall that all your darkness
That you see
Is weaker than my love for thee
Take a deep breath
Let me quell your loneliness
Perceive the seagulls as they crest
The endless thermals that buffet them
Effortless
As the sun rises in celestial bliss
I see your suffering made manifest
Our natures promise goodness with an ethereal kiss
But in the burning sand you can't help feeling worthless
Like a seabird with broken wings
You're a saint who forgot what joy means
You wonder why I would be the man
For a shell like you
But it's your pearls I love, you clam!
So breathe deep
Inhale the sea breeze
Recall that all your darkness
That you see
Is weaker than my love for thee
Take a deep breath
Let me quell your loneliness
Perceive the seagulls as they crest
The endless thermals that buffet them
Effortless
When the ocean's blue eternity
Sends a tide to take our white beach
Then kiss me without uncertainty
Heed the ageless wisdoms as they preach
Oh, inhale peacefully your final sleep
And maybe as we hold us, peaceful songbirds, soundless
We will number our blessings, grains of white sand, countless
And we'll find our fears, monsters of the deep, groundless
So breathe deep
Inhale the sea breeze
Recall that all your darkness
That you see
Is weaker than my love for thee
Take a deep breath
Let me quell your loneliness
Perceive the seagulls as they crest
The endless thermals that buffet them
Effortless
Breathe Deeply...
